Elephantomyia Osten Sacken, 1860 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Elephantomyia Osten Sacken, 1860: 220; Alexander 1948[1]: 522; Ito 1948[2]: 89; Ishida 1959[3]: 2; Savchenko and Krivolutskaya 1976[4]: 74; Savchenko 1983[5]: 62, 1986[6]: 202, 1989[7]: 49; Podenas et al. 2015[8]: 70.
Type species
Limnobiorhynchus canadensis Westwood, 1836 (= westwoodi Osten Sacken, 1869).
A total of 16 species of Elephantomyia are known from the East Palaearctic (Oosterbroek 2020[9]). They belong to two subgenera: E. (Elephantomyia) Osten Sacken, 1860 and E. (Elephantomyodes) Alexander, 1923. The nominate subgenus includes 14 species, and the subgenus Elephantomyodes includes two species (E. sophiarum Ito, 1948 from Honshu and Kyushu, Japan, and E. tianmushanaZhang et al., 2015[10] from Zhejiang, China). Eastern Palaearctic species of the subgenus E. (Elephantomyodes) can be easily distinguished from species belonging to the subgenus E. (Elephantomyia), as they have snowy white tarsal segments and a very narrow anal angle of the wing. Only one species of the genus Elephantomyia, E. edwardsi Lackschewitz, 1932 was previously recorded from the Korean Peninsula (Podenas et al. 2015[8]).
